THE STORY SO FAR
"The past sharpens tomorrow."
This thread exists to chronicle the key events in the Mandalorian Empire — from the ashes of the old ways to the formation of a new, united Mandalore and beyond. This post will summarize major happenings in brief so new and returning members can quickly get caught up. This is our history. And we write it together.
FORMATION STORY
The Planeshift Calamity shattered everything. The Neo-Crusaders — fierce warriors who had reclaimed territory in Mandalore’s name — saw their gains wiped out overnight. Broken hyperlanes severed supply lines and fractured coordination. Their survivors abandoned fixed positions and took to the stars, forming a roaming fleet. One of their strongholds, by last report, was the old jungle moon of Dxun.
Mandalore paid the price. Cut off from trade and support, many ancestral worlds fell into chaos. Food ran dry. Medicine stopped arriving. What followed was famine, disease, and despair. The people were left with nothing but the dirt under their boots — and each other.
Into that storm stepped Aether of House Verd. He brought ships filled with supplies, credits to stabilize commerce, and the leadership the Clans had been waiting for. They didn’t just follow — they crowned him. As Mand’alor the Iron, he lit a path forward: placing new hyperspace beacons, reuniting broken worlds, and declaring that the new Empire would be built by merit, not blood. Under his rule, Mandalore would rise again — stronger, sharper, united.

THE DAR'MANDA PROCLAMATION
Mand’alor the Iron issued a galaxy-wide broadcast offering unity to all Mandalorians — exiles, outcasts, and so-called "dar'manda" alike. Declaring the slate cleaned, he called for an end to old grudges and invited all to return home without kneeling. The only expectation: live by the Resol’nare. With this, the stain of division was lifted, and the Empire became more than a banner — it became a people, choosing to rise together.
